After Mad Dragon was released from prison, I shocked the world!

Looking at the words on the screen, Lin Li's eyes welled up with tears.

This silly girl, the first thing she did after waking up was to care about him.

They ran away.

Not wanting her to worry, Lin Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, no one will be able to hurt you again. I promise you."

Gu Xiaomeng smiled and typed again: 【I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid of anything as long as I can help you.】

The two chatted back and forth on their phones, creating a warm atmosphere in the ward.

Not long after, Lin Yuehua and Su Qian, having received the news, all rushed over.

Looking at Gu Xiaomeng lying on the hospital bed, all the women felt a little uneasy.

They all knew that Gu Xiaomeng was injured while saving Lin Li. Their courage and deep affection made them feel ashamed of themselves and filled them with admiration.

"Xiao Meng, take good care of your injury."

Lin Yuehua gently stroked Gu Xiaomeng's hair, saying tenderly, "From now on, we're family. If you need anything, just tell me."

Su Qian, her eyes also red, said, "Yes, thank you so much this time. I'll treat you to a big meal when you're better."

Gu Xiaomeng was flattered and quickly typed a message to thank everyone.

Just then, the ward door was pushed open.

Ye Yaojia walked in with an awkward expression.

Seeing the room full of women, she frowned, but still walked to the bedside, glanced at Gu Xiaomeng, and said stiffly, "Hey, um... I'm sorry."

"Although we didn't do it on purpose, it was indeed because of our plan that you were injured. This is a 'Healing Pill,' a sacred healing medicine of our Ye family. Taking it will help your injuries heal faster."

As she spoke, Ye Yaojia took out a delicate little porcelain bottle from her pocket and placed it on the table.

Lin Li looked at her coldly, then picked up the porcelain bottle and threw it into the trash can.

"roll."

"you!"

Ye Yaojia glared at him angrily, "Lin Li! Don't be ungrateful! This is a priceless sacred medicine!"

"I said, get out."

Lin Li remained expressionless and said, "I don't want to see any members of the Ye family in Xiaomeng's hospital room. Just seeing you makes me feel disgusted."

"you……"

Ye Yaojia felt extremely wronged.

She came with good intentions to deliver medicine and apologize, but she was treated like trash and chased away!

"Fine! Lin Li, you've got guts!"

Ye Yaojia gritted her teeth and said bitterly, "We've found the Faceless Ones' lair! Great-Grandma has already led people to wipe them out! You can just spend the rest of your life with these women!"

After saying that, she stamped her foot, turned around, and rushed out of the ward.

Lin Li's eyes flickered slightly, but he did not stop Ye Yaojia.

late at night.

Although Lin Yuehua and the others were reluctant to leave, they went back to rest first at Lin Li's insistence.

After all, Gu Xiaomeng needs to rest quietly, and too many people would only make it noisy.

Soon, only Lin Li and Gu Xiaomeng remained in the ward, pouring out their hearts to each other on their phones.

Lin Li: [Xiao Meng, once you get better, we'll open the new store, and I'll become your security captain.]

Gu Xiaomeng blushed slightly as she read the message, and typed a reply: 【Then I can't afford to pay your salary.】

Lin Li: [No need to pay, just repay with your body.]

Upon seeing this blatant flirtation, Gu Xiaomeng buried her face in the pillow in embarrassment, not daring to look at Lin Li.

Looking at her adorable appearance, Lin Li couldn't resist leaning over and wanting to kiss her forehead.

Just as the two were getting closer and closer, and the atmosphere became extremely ambiguous.

boom!

The door to the ward was suddenly kicked open with great force.

Lin Li turned around abruptly and saw a blood-covered figure stumble in, collapsing to the ground before taking two steps.

"Help...help me..."

Lin Li looked closely and realized it was Ye Yaojia!

At this moment, Ye Yaojia had lost all trace of her former arrogance. Her body was covered in cuts, blood stained most of her body, and her face was deathly pale.

"Lin Li...please..."

Ye Yaojia lay on the ground, crying as she reached out her hand to Lin Li, her hands covered in blood. "Go save Great-Grandma... save Ling Feng and the others..."

"They...something happened to them..."

Lin Li frowned. Although he disliked the Ye family, he couldn't just stand by and watch them die.

He strode over, helped Ye Yaojia up, and placed his fingers on her pulse.

His pulse was weak, his breath was faint, and there was a chilling internal energy surging within his body.

"Don't speak, save your strength."

Without saying a word, Lin Li tore off Ye Yaojia's tattered clothes, revealing large patches of blood-stained skin.

Ye Yaojia no longer cared about shame; she just gripped Lin Li's sleeve tightly: "Lake Sky Island...that's a trap...it's all an ambush..."

"I see."

Lin Li took out silver needles and quickly inserted them into several acupoints on Ye Yaojia's body to stop the bleeding and suppress the cold energy in her body.

"Nian An!"

He shouted at the door.

Bai Nian'an, who had been staying in the duty room and hadn't dared to go home, rushed over immediately.

"Master!"

"Take her to the operating room, clean her wounds, and give her a blood transfusion! We must save her life!"

"yes!"

Bai Nian'an called a nurse and had Ye Yaojia lifted onto a stretcher.

After Ye Yaojia was pushed away, Lin Li turned around and walked to Gu Xiaomeng's bedside.

Gu Xiaomeng was looking at him with a worried expression.

"Xiaomeng, I need to go out for a bit."

Lin Li bent down and gently kissed her forehead. "You stay here and sleep peacefully. There are people guarding the door. It's safe."

Gu Xiaomeng grabbed his hand and typed two words on her phone: 【Be careful.】

Lin Li nodded, turned around and walked out of the ward.

Once he reached the corridor, he took out his phone and dialed Du Yu's number.

"Du Yu, assemble the security team immediately! Bring your weapons!"

"Boss, where to?"

"Lake Sky Island!"

……

On the river late at night, a speedboat equipped with a small motor slowly approached Lake Sky Island.

Lin Li turned off the engine and nimbly jumped ashore, making almost no sound.

A faint smell of blood filled the air.

He hadn't gone far when he found a figure bound hand and foot under a willow tree.

The man was wearing a blue long robe, and his head was drooping; he had clearly fainted.

Lin Li walked closer and saw that it was Ye Lingyun, the Ye family youth he had dealt with before.

Ye Lingfeng was in a sorry state. His flowing robe was torn to shreds, his face was covered in bruises, and dried blood clung to the corner of his mouth.

"Wake up."

Lin Li reached out and pinched his philtrum hard.

"Well--!"

Ye Lingfeng gasped, his eyes trembling as he opened them. Upon seeing who was standing before him, he exclaimed in disbelief, "It's you?! What are you doing here?"

"I've come to collect your corpse."

Lin Li pulled out a dagger and cut the ropes binding him. "Can you still move? If you can, get back to where you are."

Ye Lingfeng rubbed his numb wrist, struggled to his feet, and cursed angrily, "These despicable and shameless scoundrels! They are a disgrace to our martial arts world!"

"They actually set animal traps in the bushes! They hung poison gas bombs on the trees! They even used a recorder to play screams to distract us!"
